.DRAW file extension is created by David Pilling. .DRAW has been classified as Vector graphic Files.
.DRAW is Acorn vector draw format
The draw file extension is mainly related to Draw, a drawing program for Acorn/Risc operating system.
The .draw file represents vector drawing similar to Windows WMF and SVG vector-based format.
Extensions used to map this file come in two varieties. The first is a word describing the file - in this case DRAW which is DRW in the 8.3 parlance.
The second way of mapping the file is to use a literal form of the RISC OS filetype system. In this, three bytes provide a range of possible file types from &000 to &FFF (there are no extensions, just "type" metadata). In this case, Acorn DrawFiles would be given the extension AFF, because the file is type &AFF, or 0xAFF, $HAFF.
.DRAW file format is deprecated and this file format is no longer supported.
Currently, .DRAW file type is not actively used and is obsolete. This usually happens with system files in older operating systems, files from long-discontinued software, or with previous versions of some file types (documents, projects, images, etc.) that were replaced in later versions of the original programs.
